I've always been intimidated by weight training and wasn't really sure how to go about it. I'm so glad I found Recoup; it's the perfect fit for me. It's personalized and not overwhelming. You're in an hour-long session with about 6-8 other people, but everyone is doing their own thing, so there's no pressure to keep up with a big class. The trainers will show you a couple moves, make sure you're doing it correctly, then move on to help others. After you complete that set, they show you several more and repeat until the hour is up. They are not constantly staring at you and counting reps, etc. but are checking in to make sure your form is correct and things are going ok. There's no problem making adjustments to the workouts as needed. The trainers are great and very motivating. You can tell everyone cares about your personal health journey. They do a very thorough intake to understand where you are coming from and your goals. They do regular assessments to make sure they are helping you achieve your goals. The gym is very welcoming with all varieties of people. There's no gym-bro attitude and everyone is very supportive. They make the hour go so fast! I've achieved great results already after only a couple months. I'm down 10 lbs with increasing muscle mass. I've also taken their nutrition course and learned so much about how to fuel my body. My husband, who's not a beginner at all, recently joined and was very impressed with their ability to meet his heavy-lifting needs. read more

After retiring in 2022, I knew I had to change just about everything in my life. I had a very high stress career and acquired many bad habits along the way during those 24 years. It was in August 2024 that I made the decision to get strong and healthy. I walked into Recoup full of fear one day and oddly enough, they had just finished a staff meeting and all the owners and trainers were there. I had that opportunity to be warmly welcomed by the entire staff the second I walked into the door. I scheduled my first session and they did a health assessment. I know it was not good and I was extremely embarrassed. But what I walked away with was "this is just a starting point to see where you can go!" I weighed the heaviest I had ever been in my life. Dani and Matt started working with me in the mornings. They were encouraging and supportive, but also very determined to make me work hard and get stronger. Fast forward six months, I am down almost 35 pounds and feel the best I have in years. I have changed many aspects of my life and am focused on getting stronger and healthier. My eating habits have also drastically changed. I could have never done it on my own. I am grateful to all of the staff at Recoup for inviting me into the Recoup family. They continually challenge me and want me to be the best I can be. On a side note, I have been playing softball my entire life. Since starting this personal training, I have noticed that I run faster, have more agility and can hit the ball harder every game! Everyone has noticed and comment on how much I am improving all the time. It's all thanks to Recoup for investing with me in my future. I highly recommend Recoup to anyone who wants to change their life. read more

If you're to the point of looking at gyms around you, just join recoup and you'll never look back. Seriously - whatever you think you're looking for in a gym, throw your list out the door and just sign up at Recoup and just get started. The results will come with the work you put in! They meet you where you are, and guide you in pushing yourself further. It's not just a gym, but a real community you feel part of from day one. Every workout is different, there's always new challenges, and community events to participate in. Not to mention their music taste is unhinged in the best way. You never know what you're going to get at 5am: heavy metal, EDM, 90s hits... but they're somehow all equally motivating! It's hard to describe just how much everyone at Recoup cares about their clients and community! You won't regret joining. They're really chill people! (LGBTQ+ friendly) read more

I started training at recoup two tears ago. The amount of care and love they put into their gym is borderline absurd. They are the most caring and hard working people I have ever met in my life. It's been an honor watching their family grow in the short time I've been coming here. I started during a 28 day kick start and just never stopped going. They have it all. Programs, events, group chats, groups, nutrition coaching, generally ass kickery is very heavy with this amazing team. Matt, Stevie, Bo, Dani, and McKayla are the bees knees for me. (Probably Crystal too). They can help you lower your cholesterol but they help me lower my bad attitude and I can't thank them enough for it!! Keep up the amazing work and keep building your team. I'll see you on Wednesday!! read more

I've been coming here consistently for 3 months now and I'm seeing results that make me happy. The staff care a lot, are knowledgeable, and are happy to help. It's a very comfortable space to be supported and not judged, no matter what fitness level you are right now. I look forward to my work outs and I'm sore (in a good way) each time! read more

Put on some weight recently, so when I saw the ad for their 28 day Kickstart program I decided to join because I needed the extra motivation. I like their nutrition program because it's more realistic then other challenges I've done. They are very informative and very helpful. I'm looking forward to taking some personal training sessions. read more

Recoup Personal Training - Got my workout - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Life changing. Inside and out. I knew it was time for a change. I had lost most of my confidence and self esteem. I've tried different "diets" and gyms. Would see some progress, but nothing substantial or attainable. At Recoup, it's truly a lifestyle change. The way you think about food. I'm not missing out on what I love, I just know how to eat it correctly. The program is not based on perfection, it's based on long term results. The trainers/nutrition coaches are outstanding. It has become a second family for me. It's a very motivating and positive atmosphere. I would recommend starting with the Kickstart 28 day program. Helps you get on track and stay on track. Within my first 28 days I lost several inches around my body. I had more energy, I was glowing, and people started to notice! It was very emotional for me since I've been struggling to keep weight off for a few years. Highly recommend. 10/5 stars. Thank you Recoup! read more

After years of training everyday, I fell out of habit due to some injuries and health issues. I decided to join Recoup's Kickstart program with a friend back in June to get back into some good habits. Ive loved every minute of my time at the gym with Dani and the rest of the Recoup team. So far I'm down 20 lbs and inches pretty much everywhere. If you're looking for a way back into the gym or are just looking for an encouraging environment to get started, this is definitely a great place to start that journey. read more

Look No Further. Embrace 2023 and be blessed by the best trainers who treat you like family. #theycare #gifttoself #youmatter

I joined the Kickstart nutrition plan 4 weeks ago at Recoup Personal Training. Adding a nutrition plan in addition to my Recoup strength training workouts has been a great new challenge for me. It's given me structure around my meals and taught me how to balance my meals with protein, carbs and fat. I honestly feel more energized and satiated. As a result, I have lost 5 lbs in 4 weeks plus 3 inches in my abs as wells as inches lost in my hips, arms, legs and calves. I am on my way to continuing this health journey, and look forward to reaching my goals and making this nutrition plan a part of my daily routine. read more

Great gym! Meeting the trainers (Stevie, Bo and Matt) is the best thing that could've happened to me and my wife, not only are they great trainers but are also great genuine human beings. Their personalities, positive attitudes and non-intimidating approach to weight training has allowed us to stick to regular fitness sessions for the last 4+ years. Recoup is now part of who we are and we love seeing our by now very familiar fitness buddies every time we workout... They are our workout family! Recoup Personal Training provides a supportive, non-pretentious and relaxed yet very challenging environment. They are very interested in getting to know you as an individual, what you can do and what your limitations are, this very important to me as I have many old injuries/surgeries that require "workarounds" to not end up with pain or re-injuring old battle wounds. Matt, Stevie and Bo are continuing Matt's parents legacy, providing a holistic approach that allows any person rip the benefits of strength training and practical no non-sense nutrition advice. I absolutely recommend Recoup to all those who want to keep a fitness routine but are afraid of or threatened by the typical gyms one finds out there. Keep it up Recoup! Bo, Stevie, Matt wishing you continued success! We love you! read more

Recoup Personal Training - Stevie and Matt with baby Cooper and Bo - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

After working with the RECOUP team I can honestly say that I couldn't be happier with my experience here. The staff is friendly, outgoing, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone is very professional and always willing to assist you in any way possible. They offer both 1 on 1 and small group strength & endurance training, nutrition coaching, and promote an all around healthy lifestyle.  I can really attest to their dedication to customer service through their personalized approach to training. You always feel taken care of, which is quite rare these days. Whenever I have any questions about certain exercises or my diet, I always get their undivided attention. Having participated in their tri-annual "KICKSTART" I was able to lose a total of 12lbs in just 28 days, while gaining 4lbs of lean muscle mass. The included meal plan and easy to make recipes were just phenomenal! Everything was so simple and delicious, at the same time teaching me proper nutrition and how to space out my daily meals. I can not thank them enough for everything they have done for me since joining.. If you live in the greater Orange County area and are looking for a fantastic personal training experience,RECOUP is hands down the right place for you. read more

Recoup Personal Training - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

*Updated review 1/24/22: I've been working out at Recoup for 14 months now, and everything I wrote in my original post still holds true. Matt, Stevie, Bo, (and now admin assistant Dani!) are an amazing group of people who want nothing more than to make you the best, most confident version of yourself. I'm currently participating in their Kickstart program (typically held twice a year) which helps you focus in on your nutrition and how to fuel your body the right way. Although the program only lasts 4 weeks, the skills they're teaching are practical steps to a lifelong healthy relationship with food. Diet fads come and go, and when you fall off the wagon, you feel ashamed and eat ALL THE THINGS. (Believe me, I've been there!) Kickstart and the gym's LIFE program are great at holding you accountable. I'm so thankful for signing up with Recoup. Do it, I promise you won't regret it! read more

Love the Recoup team. Beyond supportive, the care is effective and personalized. After adding Kickstart to Personal training, I have learned to use my food as nutrition and not just a meal. So happy to see my body finally responding to this lifelong, lifestyle change. Thank YOU Recoup!! read more

About a month ago I decided to make an investment that I felt was long overdue and I had always put to the side. I claimed that I didn't have the time for it and was way too busy to incorporate it into my daily routine. The investment was on my self-care and the quality of life I was living. Finding Recoup was honestly an answer to my prayers. They are so invested in helping you achieve your physical and nutritional goals and work with you every step of the way. As soon as you walk in through the doors you feel like your part of the family. You know you are in a place that doesn't judge or intimidate you and really keeps your needs as their top priority. Mattison, Stevie and Bo are some of the most genuine people you will ever meet. If you are looking for a place that makes you feel welcomed, encouraged and challenged to be the best version of yourself, Recoup is the place for you. read more

I've been attending Recoup for 5 years now. Without Recoup I would not have the confidence I have today. I have seen SO MANY changes in my body. They teach you to follow your inches (not always the scale) amd they focus on implementing lean muscle mass. I'm also a part of their Life Nutrition Program. I was skeptical at first since I had tried ever diet out there but this is NOT a diet; it's a lifestyle change. The coaches really push you (politely) to reach your goals and then make new ones. Everyone there: Matt, Stevie, Bo, Dani, and Mikayla have all transformed my life and I can't wait to see what's next! read more

I have been training with Matt off and on for 10 years. I have also trained with Stevi and Bo for several years and recently added nutrition counseling with Stevi. I am down 25 pounds of fat, feel great and very supported. The owners and staff at Recoup are professional and courteous. They follow up and are with me every step of the way. If you want a personalized gym that is affordable and clean, do it for your health. You won't regret it! read more

Recoup Personal Training - After and before - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Recoup Personal Training was perfect for me to start working toward my health goals. I was one of those "day 1" people coming in with no real knowledge in fitness or nutrition. Matt, Stevie and Bo made me feel 100% comfortable and took the time to sit with me and discuss my goals. They made me feel like a friend, not just a client. I joined the KICKSTART program and immediately felt like a part of an extremely supportive family. Matt's bootcamps are tailored to fit any fitness level. During our training sessions, Bo is very positive and encouraging and is teaching me technique so I not only get the most of out my workout, but also do not injure myself. Stevie has been so incredibly helpful with my nutrition! In 28 days, I lost 20lbs, 8.2% of body fat and gained 5.8lbs of lean muscle! The studio has great equipment and is super clean. You can definitely feel and see the passion Matt, Stevie and Bo have for your health and success in achieving your goals. read more

I've been training with Matt, Stevie, and Bo since Day 1 of them opening Recoup. They take a personal approach to your training, create a community of like-minded people seeking to improve their health, give back to causes they care about, and have maintained a close knit, caring space while growing their business to add three additional trainers. Under the guidance of their Kickstart program I not only improved gained strength and lost weight, I also learned about food nutrition and how to make food choices that supported my goals. I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

This is much more then just a gym it truly is more of a community. The trainers/owners are amazing! They truly care about the clients in and out of the gym. They truly take the time to get to know everyone that comes in the gym. They really look at your goals and will give you all the tools to succeed and hit your goals. The nutritional program they have really works if you trust and use the program as it is designed and no one is perfect and all have bad days. They will help you in the areas you struggle in if you are honest and willing to tell them what you are eating and the exercise you do outside the gym. The people that you will meet are amazing and will form some of the best relationships inside the gym then anywhere else . read more

I've had a great experience at Recoup so far! I've been training with Matt, Bo and Stevie for the past 8 months and it's been really incredible. The one on one training in a group setting makes you feel very well supported all around. Before starting with personal training the only type i of fitness I did was cardio or yoga, but the trainers here do a great job personalizing your program to your goals and limitations. Now I have the confidence in a gym setting and my strength is improving drastically. read more

Recoup is THE best personal fitness gym in Orange County. They have earned that reputation (and I mean they have earned it) because of the trainers. Matt, Stevie and Bo are all exceptIonal. They are meticulous about listening to each clients needs and wants. They then tailor a dIfferent workout routine daily that is particular to the individual. They take into consideration any particular accommodations necessary based on the clients personal health and fitness journey. My husband and I have been working out with them for over 4 years.

Recoup Personal Training - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been training with Matt for over 5 years. I had the honor of training at the very first session (5:30AM) opening morning at RECOUP and have loved it ever since! Great trainers, top of the line equipment, clean studio, personalized workouts, and a convenient location from the freeway - honestly, what else could you want? I just finished their 28 day KICKSTART program. I am not only impressed with my results, but I am excited to have new nutrition habits to keep me moving in the right direction to accomplish my goals. read more

Recoup is not just any gym, it's the BEST gym! I joined during their Kickstart program to get some help with fitness and nutrition. I've always struggled with eating healthy and enjoyed the recipes provided during the program so much that I am still making several of them to this day. The plan truly was simple and easy to follow. I also really love the weekly bootcamps and hikes during Kickstart. Everyone is beyond welcoming, friendly, and encouraging. I was apprehensive in the gym at first, but each trainer is amazing, knowledgeable, and attentive. I never felt bad for my starting point and was offered modifications when needed. For the first time I am consistent with working out and it has everything to do with the incredible community Recoup has cultivated. I am stronger, proud of how far I've come and excited to continue on my healthy journey. If you're nervous because it's been a while since you've worked out or need help with accountability, Recoup is the place for you!! You will be welcomed at any age and any stage with warm smiles and high fives! read more

I've gone to the gym most my life but covid and having a baby hit me hard. I randomly stumbled across Recoup and decided to blindly join their Kickstart program. I have to say I'm so glad I did, I've never met a group of individuals that are so knowledgeable about their profession. They not only specialize in training and diet but also teach you how to easily incorporate this into your daily life. Everyone of their trainers knows how to get you results and also leads by example. They train every fitness level and adjust each workout to fit you individually. On top of all that the gym has an extremely welcoming and family feel. I 100% recommend Recoup to anyone looking to join a gym, improve their lifestyle and most of all who wants to see real results in body composition . Matt, Stevie, Bo and Dani are by far the top trainers out there! Thank you guys for creating the absolute best gym and training experience, I cant say enough good things about Recoup. (not a paid sponsorship just an honest review) read more

I have been training with Matt, Bo and Stevie for over 4 years and am still a huge fan. Can't say enough good things about the entire nutrition and fitness services they provide. The strength training is perfect. They know exactly how to make each session challenging, but doable. I leave the gym feeling accomplished and strong. The gym is immaculate. Everything is in perfect working order with new equipment being added all the time. It never gets boring! All of this is what all gyms should include, but with Recoup there's so much more. Their nutrition advice and Kickstart program has helped me maintain a weight lower than when I started, even through the holidays. The extra events hosted by Recoup (bowling, movie nights, charity events, boot camps, etc.) add a lot of fun to this fitness journey. It has been great getting to know others who share the same interests in fitness and health. Recoup provides an all-around amazing healthy environment. Can't recommend them enough. read more

I am so grateful for all that Recoup has helped me with during these "uncertain times" and helping me keep my sanity with some consistency in my life. When asked about my goals, it isn't about a certain number I want to get to, but just showing up and doing it three times a week. I want to be strong, I want to healthy, I want to be sane. It's hard to put into words what these workouts and fellowship with Stevie, Matt and Bo give me, but it's my favorite part of my day. #earnyoursunrise read more

Love the Recoup staff! They knew just how to help me get back on my routine after having a baby without pushing my body too hard at first! The gym is absolutely sparkling clean! I feel very safe and well taken care of. The vibe is great and everyone is so nice! read more

If I could give 10 stars or 20 I would ! I absolutely love Recoup . Everyone is amazing Bo , Stevie , Matt and Dani are encouraging, supportive and understanding. It was so easy to go back to working out after not doing anything for 4 years because they all made it possible! They helped me get stronger and get my nutrition back to where it needs to be. If you're looking for a place to workout this is the place no doubt!!! I love it here !!! The environment is so uplifting and supportive at the gym. It's great here . read more

This family community is amazing. From the tools for learning your body, working out, and re-learning what is needed for my specific body. Stevie, Mattison, Bo and Dani all work together and make you feel encouraged and proud of the steps I have taken. Thank you! read more

I reached out to Matt, Stevie and Bo back in June. I knew I had gained weight, my body was always hurting, I couldn't keep up with my kids. Being a single mom I was all around a mess. I was nervous about joining the recoup team after having a history of diet hoping, and trying different gyms and trainers and nothing ever working. I basically started to accept that being over weight and unhealthy was how I was gonna be. They were so amazing when I first met with them. They took all my concerns into consideration, answered all my questions, you name it they did it. Joining the team was the best decision i ever made. It wasn't just a diet and a workout plan. It's a lifestyle change and for the best. I can't even imagine where I would be without them. You're not just a "client" to them. They care about you even when you walk out that door. They keep in contact with you on days you're not at the gym. They go above and beyond and truly care about you and your health. My only regret was I didn't start sooner. The pictures below are my progress pictures from when I started at the end of June compared to mid September. There's no words to describe how amazing they are. You are not just joining a gym, you join a supportive community. Best decision I have ever made. read more

Recoup Personal Training - Everything you need in this awesome new gym! - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Recoup Personal Training is the perfect training studio to work toward your fitness & health goals. The new gym is awesome and has all the best equipment you can think of. The quality of their trainers is what makes them really stand out!! Each of their programs are tailored to the client's needs, so don't go in expecting a standard program. I always enjoy and look forward to coming in for my training sessions. I've trained with Bo for the past few months (first at her previous location), and highly recommend her! She's literally one of the best trainers I've ever met! Not only is she bubbly, kind and so so sweet, but she keeps a close eye on my weights and form and never lets me get comfortable or complacent on any exercise. I'm constantly learning new moves, improving my technique, and enjoying the challenges Bo throws at me in each session. I just started their 28-Day KICKSTART program. This is a nutrition program and is super easy to follow and is very personalized. I am already seeing great results! This isn't just a "diet", but a program that helps you adjust your attitude towards food and nutrition. It really helps you understand the value of food and how it can transform your body. The personalized and holistic approach to fitness and nutrition that this gym provides, really distinguishes it from other gyms and programs - I highly recommend RECOUP Personal Training!

5+ stars for Matt, Stevie, and Bo at Recoup Personal Training! These 3 are the real deal. I have been a member at Recoup for a little over 3 months now and have been involved in the virtual classes as well as their in person classes. Each workout is be tailored to meet your individual needs so you will always leave feeling properly warmed up, worked out, and cooled down. Matt, Stevi and Bo are patient, extremely knowledgeable, and very creative in their workouts and they offer a complete nutrition program as well! The studio is extremely clean and as a member I feel safe, cared for and like part of the family! Thank you for all you do, your hard work does not go unnoticed! read more

Recoup is literally the Cheers of personal training gyms (minus the alcohol, lol). It is a place where you feel instantly welcomed, no matter where you are from and what your starting point is in the fitness and nutrition world. I was lost and didn't feel motivated to do much these past few years during covid, but I finally decided to bite the bullet and sign up. I was nervous, and intimidated to get back in the gym, but that quickly subsided as I walked through their doors. Recoup feels familiar, and safe, and yes, the workouts are intense, but fun. They push you to your limits, in the best way possible with their highly customized plans. Joining their 28 day Kickstart was the best decision I have made in years. The nutrition plan is my favorite that I have ever tried, as it is sustainable and you eat REAL food and are NEVER hungry. So amazing! It has only been a month, but I know these habits are now sticking for life. What's your excuse? Get your butt to Recoup ASAP. read more

Recoup is an absolutely incredible place to be! Its much more than a studio, it's a community. I've been coming to Recoup for a few years and it's been the best decision of the last decade for me. When I first came, I was about 70lbs over my comfort weight, had never stepped foot in a gym, and was extremely self conscious, lost, and had no idea how to get started. I was drinking and eating poorly and just felt miserable all the time. After just consistently showing up, I didn't recognize myself in the mirror after a few months, after a few years I'm a totally different person. With the coaching of Matt, Stevie, Bo and Dani, I've been able to hit goals I never thought were remotely possible. Doing my most recent fitness assessment was genuinely surprising to see how far I'd come. Combine all the workouts with the personalized nutrition plan you get and its a transformative experience. If you're looking for a place that will help you reach the goals you want to reach, this is the place to go! read more
